Mike Smith is one of the best coaches in the nation rn. Dude is coaching nau, Nico Young, and Galen Rupp. That is insane.

Mike Smith has the greatest voice in the world, change my mind.

Running for NAU would be so nice, wish I was a 4:05 miler

"the pushing is out of insecurity" holy crap

"an hour in the maze" lollllllll

Mike Smith is more of a Dad than a Coach haha. Literally such a legend!

This workout was so aesthetically pleasing

Really loving this video, the beautiful sunrise, the sound of shoes hitting gravel, the energy, and the nurturing discipline :)

This is the best quality workout Wednesday this channel has ever made. Good job.

Mike smith said “ ahhh fuck “ at the end lmaoooooo

Respect to all the runners waking up this early and grinding. They'll all go far in life with their work ethic.

when he makes them get out of the van to get a shot with the sun in the back lol

Mike smith has to be the greatest coach right now in college, would love to be coached by him.

I envy their team chemistry

I bet dropping down from altitude when you're this fit is insane.

I'm boutta start telling my athletes to "keep squeezing" lmao

Anyone else hear Mike go: *exhale* "f×××" 12:25

Damn! I think this is a hard work out! No joke! NAU has some of the best runners in the country!

Love this episode!! So good

Vids like this are so good, great inspiration

that's a good morning

not even a distance runner but that thumbnail was pretty sick

Love this coach! Deadpan

The real question is who has a better voice, Morgan Freeman or Mike Smith?

Great video!

great coach ....

Coach Smith ' I wonder what the penalty is for guys running around out here in short shorts and spandex? An hour in the Maze! Guys, just don't make eye contact with the clowns! 😆

Mike smith is a G

Beautifully produced film.

Anyone would appreciate a coach like that; very observant, wise, and caring. Barely know anything about him but he seems like a beast

W for making it free !

Mike smith goat of coaching

Let’s go Drew represent Homestead

lets go

The view tho!

Mike Smith is riding that line between beatnik and hippie

What altitude do you workout at? If you all run a lot in the morning dark I can let you try a light belt I’ve come up with. The roads looked long and straight, but some of those trucks went by kind of quick on the asphalt.

Damnnn it’s dark

Is this from last year?

Just curious, why are they in Indiana?

Who’s here after bosley got 3rd at ncaa’s ?

W

Coach Mitch Hedberg

With scorpions and rattlesnakes moving around in dark. No way would I be a running mate .

funny opening

What shoes are they wearing? Addidas SL20?

cats got on nike tights

I wish mike was my coach

well make that decision in October its November 18th 4:29

Where’s nico tho

WhErE’s NiCo YoUnG?

What were they doing in Indiana at the time?

👍👏👏👏✋

5:26 scared me

Where is Mike Smith from? He has an unplaceable accent.

Where’s Nico?

Why start so so early ?

is nico there??

Im a big fat lazy ass. why am I even here.

Keep Squeezing?

This workout looks like long tempo or long threshold pace, and the runners are Millers, the contribution of aerobic system is the principal way. Events like 1500/mile have to 70% of aerobic contribution and 28% anaerobic. While aerobic system gains for this type of athlete are between 65-75%vVo2max, what might it be like to work in a zone that comprises neither a base pace nor a race pace? How important can zone 2 be for these athletes? Thanks

nico

The vigorous rice disturbingly attack because underwear seemingly unlock absent a rough brass. utter, squeamish car

keep squeezing XD

Smith has a voice very reminiscent of Elon Musk
